Trying to use offline install method to patch UI in order to track down which patch is breaking our Grouper UI.

I have the grouper.installer.properties pointed to a local grouper directory instead of the website, and I have a tarballs directory there.

The issue is that the installer checks API first which is fine,except it is trying to find API patch #94 after successfully checking 0-93, and I am getting a weird "host parameter is null" exception, which crashes the installer and UI patches never get installed...

Here is the exeption being thrown:
